aurelia/wyll/karlach are already one step ahead of the plan, they brought the blacksmith with them (and have no healer whoops)

(disclaimer that i haven’t actually played ea, my impression of it is only based on what i’ve read/seen online) but i actually don’t think ea wyll would have been a more compelling character. we frankly did not need another brash character, or one that’s treading the line of power hungry. wyll did not need to be darker or more morally gray to be more interesting.

it may be because i actually find his kindness to be the most compelling aspect about him. he is a man that’s been stripped of his home, of his name, of his appearance and he’s clinging to that kindness and goodness as the last aspects of himself. he wants people to see him as the blade, because wyll is a memory of a memory (his lines). good or kind doesn’t mean easy and we see first hand what kind of punishments he faces for choosing to do the right thing but he’ll do it to keep his soul with whatever he has left. the very same soul that’s been given to a devil.

and he’s not above violence quite the opposite. he approves of going after the duergars when he hears they murdered the myconoid’s children. he says they should bathe gortash in his own blood. he has no mercy for vile individuals but he forgives like it’s breathing.

that’s not to say his writing wouldn’t have benefitted from care and attention that frankly was not given. or a few additional scenes that allow you to see behind the high charisma, the memory of a memory that’s struggling to carry it all.

but i don’t know i think that wyll, who might’ve once been naive but he hasn’t been for many many years. who saw the injustice of the world and got angry at everyone (mortal and gods) who wouldn’t help. who chooses to be kind exactly because the world isn’t. who keeps that choice, the only agency he has with a bloodied grip, and that’s something no one could take from him. it is that conscious choice to act despite the terrible situation he found himself in at only 17, that is the beating heart of his character.

good and moral or honourable is not necessarily boring. you may personally not wish to engage with it or find yourself gravitating towards, but it doesn’t make it less compelling by default.

i think one of the lines in the beginning about how he doesn’t remember much of the battle, but he remembers drying that boy’s tears, is the essence of all that above, and the kind of man wyll wishes to be (& actually is)

wyll's epilogue kiss at the party is still bugged wahhhhhhhh the cutest kiss and it just freezes in the middle

I think I hate this decision more than anything. There's absolutely zero lore reason (especially with a broken pact, but even before she was never present all around) for Mizora to be constantly at camp! But you have to take the one loophole that virtually does nothing, except grant players some kind of satisfaction.

sooo i'm pretty sure they removed you being able to petrify mizora,,,,,,,,, every time i try it the camp goes aggro or on the reloads that it doesn't even when mizora failed the three rolls she reappeared fine,,,,,,,,,,,,

Bg3 will let you roleplay as whatever but then make all possible dialogue options for Wyll incredibly unsympathetic at best and downright hostile at worst. Like yeah you can support mass murder but showing basic decency to a guy who spends the entire game getting fucked over is where Larian draws the line apparently.

obsessed with their height difference

[faerunquest]

a tall muscular tiefling pulled him out of the sigil, is generally nice (they’re all ignoring them saying they have murderous urges), and he’s already whipped. she came prepackaged in purple to match

neth’ryn (or neths, she/they)

They should invent a way to learn shading that is fast and easy also and doesn’t involve having to do 8 million studies
